Net result: The Rockets seemed to take blow after blow during free agency. First, the Rockets dealt Asik and Lin to clear cap space to go after one of the premiere free agents this summer (LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony) and it seemed like they would get one in Chris Bosh. But Bosh decided to stay in Miami and in the meantime, the Rockets lost Parsons to a giant contract in Dallas. Since then, they have added pieces around stars Dwight Howard and James Harden and as the season gets started and goes on, trade rumors will definitely fly as the Rockets try to keep building toward a championship-caliber team.

Net result: The biggest news for the Mavericks (and some of the biggest in the league) came a few weeks ago when the Mavericks offered $45 million over three years on an offer sheet that Parsons, a restricted free agent, signed. The Rockets didn’t match the offer and one of their starters will now be wearing blue. Dallas has continued to build around its star, Dirk Nowitzki, and should have a solid starting five next year with him, Parsons, Raymond Felton, Monta Ellis and Tyson Chandler. less

Net result: The Grizzlies had a great start to free agency, when they re-signed big man Zach Randolph. They also picked up Jordan Adams and Jarnell Stokes in the draft and haven’t made many more changes. less

Net result: The big addition to the Pelicans this season was Omer Asik, who was traded there for a first round pick. Asik joins the Pelicans’ front court with Anthony Davis, making that one to watch next season. less

Net result: The 2014 champs have been quiet this offseason. Coach Gregg Popovich signed a multi-year extension, All-Star Tim Duncan is sticking around, free agent Patty Mills re-signed with the Spurs as did big man Boris Diaw. The Spurs most notable addition for next season is draft pick Kyle Anderson, known for his passing skills. less

Net result: The rebuilding continues at a slow pace in Denver but while there isn’t necessarily a super star on the team, the Nuggets are deep and that’s exactly what coach Brian Shaw wants to work with. less

Net result: There hasn’t been much movement in Minnesota but the rumors continue to fly about hot commodity Kevin Love, who isn’t a free agent until next year, but might be on the trading block. All signs point to Love leaving Minnesota, but where he will end up is up in the air. less

Minnesota Timberwolves

Additions: Zach LaVine (rookie), Mo Williams (Portland).

Net result: Overall, Portland has had a good offseason. After a vast improvement last season (the Trail Blazers beat the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs and lost to San Antonio in the second), they have added two really strong pieces, Blake and Kaman, and have kept their superstars, Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge. The Trail Blazers’ needed to add depth and that is what they have been able to do so far. less

Net result: Under new head coach Quin Synder, the Jazz are on a mission to improve and keeping Gordon Hayward was a big piece of that. The restricted free agent signed an offer sheet with Charlotte for $63 million, but Utah matched it and kept him in the system. less

Net result: The biggest change so far for Golden State is at the top since Steve Kerr took over as head coach. There have been several trade rumors in the last week, several including Kevin Love’s name. But no movement yet. Regardless of what personnel changes they make, Kerr coaching Steph Curry could produce big results. less

Golden State Warriors

Additions: Shaun Livingston (Brooklyn), Brandon Rush (Utah).

Subtractions: Steve Blake (Portland)

Net result: The Clippers already had a talented group with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan leading the way. Now they have two more players in the mix with newly signed Spencer Hawes and Jordan Framar, making them even deeper and solidifying their status in the West as contenders. less

Net result: The Lakers are likely to look more like the Lakers again next season with Kobe Bryant back from injury. They also picked up Julius Randle in the draft and most recently, acquired Jeremy Lin in a trade with Houston. less

Net result: The Kings haven’t made many moves yet, but they did sign Darren Collison to a 3-year, $16 million deal. Their summer league team won the Las Vegas summer league and things are looking up in Sacramento. less
